FAQs
Are these sandals waterproof?
No, while they are durable, the cork and synthetic materials are not designed to be submerged in water or used in heavy rain.
How do I know my size?
Birkenstock sizes are based on standard EU/UK sizing. These should fit true to size, but ensure your heel and toes do not hang over the edges of the footbed.
Can I replace the footbed?
The footbed is integrated into the construction. For best results, allow the shoes to rest between wears to let the cork recover.
Are these suitable for people with flat feet?
Many users with flat feet find the anatomical arch support helpful, though it is recommended to consult a podiatrist if you have specific orthotic needs.
How long do they last?
With proper care and regular rotation, a pair of Birkenstocks can last several years of consistent use.
Troubleshooting
The sandals feel stiff during first wear
This is normal. Wear them for short periods around the house to allow the cork-latex footbed to warm up and mold to your feet.
Footbed feels slippery
This often happens with new sandals; the surface will gain texture and grip as the cork is exposed through natural wear.
Buckle is rubbing against the skin
Adjust the strap tension slightly; if it continues, ensure the strap is centered over the top of the foot.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your Birkenstock Boston shoes last, start by adjusting the strap to fit your foot comfortably—it should feel snug but not restrictive. For care, wipe the synthetic upper with a soft, damp cloth to remove surface dirt. Avoid submerging the sandals in water, as excessive moisture can damage the cork-latex footbed. If the footbed becomes dirty, use a damp cloth and a mild soap solution to spot clean, then allow them to air dry away from direct heat sources like radiators. Store your sandals in a cool, dry place to maintain the integrity of the materials.
